I don't have full screen

Mabye someone can provide some help here... I have never had this happen before. My wife has a dell laptop... it was running xp pro until this evening when i loaded a new copy of vista that bought for her..

I finally got it loaded... but I liternally lost about an inch or more on each side of the screen... so i have the windows as normal but its like a big tile in the middle of the widow... everything around it is black...

I cannot figure out how to correct it.... it's kinda odd... but I thought I would throw it out there because it was so weird and I cannot figure out how to fix it.

Re: I don't have full screen

hi Dean,

i assume that you tried changing display settings already. but did you install all required drivers? d/load the Vista chipset driver and the video drivers for your laptop. you can get them from the laptop manufacturer's website. it is best if you can post details of your laptop so the forum can help you find a suitable solution.
